Reckon they have told us to increase mining capacity , my guess 60,000 tonnes and increasing stage two .
Volkswagen’s Chief Technical Officer, Thomas Schmall, announced that his company would also finance mining in the future. "The bottleneck for raw materials is mining capacity. That’s why we need to invest directly in mines," Schmall .
They have to take a slice in EMH , to oversea their production etc as I think Tesla will do too , and more than likely want a board seat as well, there are plenty of seats open as we only have 3 . Puzzle pieces all falling into place , and about time .
The EU wants to revive mining in Europe.

European carmakers are now trying to wean themselves off their dependence on China. They are investing in mines to secure access to critical raw materials and buying into processing and recycling capacity.

CEZ has said it would decide by the end of the year whether to go ahead with the project, but indicated that it looked likely given the outlook for demand for lithium, used in batteries. (Reporting by Jan Lopatka; Editing by Alex Richardson)

This cooperation received a new impetus after the Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and the Saxon Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer signed a memorandum on cooperation in the implementation of projects of strategic importance in May 2023.

And in a few weeks, the feasibility study, that is, the analysis of the effectiveness of the investment, which will show how profitable mining should be, is to be completed.

Outside of the UK, companies like Bradda Head, European Metals Holdings, Kodal Minerals, Atlantic Lithium, and Savannah Resources are also making strides in the lithium industry. Despite downward pressure on their share prices due to the weaker lithium price, these companies are attracting attention from institutional investors, banks, and governments who see the lithium industry as a long-term bet.

Looking good.
